Scrapbook zen

My hubby is wonderful! He was willing to hang with the kids for part of the weekend so that I could get away and do a 24 hour crop. I managed to get about 3 hours of sleep but had a great time chatting with new and old friends and scrapping!! I didn't get a huge amount done but I managed to get that zen type quality that comes from scrapbooking. I loved it!

One of the pages I did get done is the 4th One Little Word Challange - NEW. It was due a week ago so I missed the deadline but I had to do the page because once I sawthe word - I knew exactly what my page had to be about. Todd and I had just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary in May and had gotten some pictures taken for the ocassion. We danced to the Disney song "Whole New World" from Aladdin on the night we started dating (at a wedding we were in) - so it was appropriately our first dance at our wedding. This was my way to scrap our anniversary picture next to our wedding picture. I love it! And I got to use this fun new paper from Deja Views!

Have a great week! Mine will be a fun one full of alot of activity. Tomorrow night we are making our much anticipated trek to see the new Harry Potter movie! I can't wait!

MY - OLW Challenge

I haven't had many chances to scrap lately but I did finally take the time to create a layout for the current One Little Word challenge. The word is "MY" and as soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I needed to scrap about...



Journalling:
Life with a 2 1/2 year old
Whenever Lexi sees something she wants - she looks at me and asks MY? MY?
it totally cracks me up since she even asks when things are clearly someone elses!

This was a different style of layout for me but alot of fun since I let Lexi create the background paper.

enjoy!

STOP - OLW Challenge

Here is my take on the One Little Word Challange (www.onelittleword.blogspot.com). The second word is STOP!

This page is what I need to say to myself to just get the will power and go forward with the diet and exercise routine that works best for me. Stop the Madness of trying this and that - just go forward


I printed the pictures up as 1 1/2 inch square photos side by side and trimmed them out together to serve as my one photo. I muted their color intensity so that they don't stand out - the journalling does. This was so different from my usual way of thinking! But it works for 'MY' mini album.

Thanks for looking and have a great week! kelly

PS - BIG congrats to my BIL for a great finish at the Memorial Tournament!

One Little Word

I got some time to scrapbook yesterday which was wonderful! Most of the time I was just working on little albums for the kid's pre-school teachers as a thank you but I did also get the chance to make a page for the 1st challenge at www.onelittleword.blogspot.com. This was fun!

Their first word is 'GO' and you are challenged to create a page about whatever this word inspires in you. As I was online yesterday the kids were running around playing making ALOT of noise and I happened to notice on our desk the pictures of each of the kids from the hospital as a newborn and made me think - 'Where did the time go..." - thus my page!!!



I have decided that I will use these challenges as pages for my own little 9x9 album of favorite pictures and just things I want to say. So anything GOes!!

Enjoy!
